Hello!

Samba has provisions to clean up both directories regularly. Is it a major problem for you that we leave sfome files behind? Will they pile up indefinitely, or are they disappearing again when you restart Samba and what a while?

If it is a major showstopper for you, can you try to find out which daemons leave something behind?

With best regards,

Thanks Volker.

It's not a blocker for us, I just feel the cleanup is not working properly. It seems the number of files piles up, and won't go away even after shutting down Samba.

I will try to figure out which daemon leaves those files behind when I get a chance.

Nah, don't feel bad. We can't go back to tdb messaging. Making all the code signal-safe is a harder task than fixing socket issues, and I'm not sure we ever had it right.

Files left behind is a very minor issue compared with sig-safe code issues :-).
